Are you using Chrome? There's currently a bug in new versions of Chrome causing issues with Anchor links.  Try adding a non-breaking space (&nbsp to your anchor code like this:

<a name="myanchor">&nbsp;</a>

This is WORKING! Thank you very much!

That's great to hear!

I am having a similar problem. I have a footer with text that I am trying to link to a text heading elsewhere on the page. this is what I have done exactly: 

The paragraph tite is "WHO WE ARE" 

Beneath this heading, I added an embed element and typed <a name="WHO WE ARE"></a>

Then in the footer on the text WHO WE ARE, I linked to a standard page, un clicked "open in new page" and typed my Http://www.paperstreetadvisory.weebly.com#whoweare.

I published, and scrolled to the footer, clicked who we are and it immediately just scrolled to the top. I thought perhaps that was alright since the "who we are" section is up top so I tried the EXACT same steps with "WHAT WE DO". The identical thing happens. 

I noticed above that someone mentioned to try and add this below, but it didn't work either. No matter what I have tried. the same thing happens.  

 

[Adam7]

The spaces in your anchor name are going to cause a problem, since spaces are converted to %20 in a URL string. Try changing your embed code to this and re-publishing:

<a name="whoweare">&nbsp;</a>

Thanks Adam. I definitely didn't think of that. Sadly, I tried this but, still, it's not working. It scrolls directly to the top of the page. 

[YGF]

I tried it again once more and this time, when I click on the text in the footer "what we do" on the published site, I get the 404 error message. what am I doing wrong?

I want to be able to click specific text and have it scroll directly to the coordinating section. ie. click "what we do" and it scrolls to the what we do section.

how can I acheive this?

[Adam7]

Try changing your link to include "index.html", since the anchors you're linking to are on the index page.

Any idea about which versions of Chrome are still not fixed by the addition of the $nbsp;  ?

Hey Adam, 

I'm having trouble getting the anchor link to work on both chrome and safari. I've added the &nbsp; to the code but still no luck. Nothing changes when I click the link... any ideas? 

Thanks.

This fixed my issue in both Chrome and IE. 

Thank you,

Awesome! Glad to hear that.

This solution -- using this code:

<a name="myanchor">&nbsp;</a>

-- worked for me. Thanks!

Hi there, I wrote about this same thing a few weeks back and the next day the issue resolved magically (although I hadn't heard back from Weebly). I've been wanting to upgrade my site for a while now, and have invested a lot of time on my free site to make sure it's going to work for me, but I keep having this one particular issue with the anchor links simply not working most of the time. I have created anchor links before on my Weekly site with no problems, however, this function simply is not working anymore and I've researched many different ways to do this and found that it seems to be an extremely common problem, but none of the recommendations I find actually fix it.  Please please help. I'd hate to have to abandon Weebly after all the work I've put in so far! I'd really very much like to move along with this

[Adam7]

Our engineers are investigating reports of trouble making anchor links, @JasmineCM. Are you seeing a situation where an anchor sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, or just never works?

I'm having the same problem. Inserting code, nothing happens. Trying all the "fixes," nothing. Firefox and Safari. I'm building a new site and the design relies on anchors in a number of areas. This may be a deal killer for using Weebly
